Re: Got a question Pain Clinic

March 6, 2008

Pain Clinic's evaluate your pain issue's, and if they feel it is legite,

they will prescribe pain med's, you usually have to sign some type of contract

agreeing to only take so many pills per mo. and they may make you submit to

urine test randomly or bring in your pills to make sure u are not abusing them.

They though if you are having to pay, usually won't take you as a patient unless

you pay up front, and all of it, quite exspensive!!! It is just a strict drug

facility, and depending on where u go there can be a waiting period of 2mo out.

Can you not seek a primary dr who will continue treating you, would be cheaper.

Hope you find help, as it is not fun to be in pain and not have the right meds.

take care Sharon

Has any one in this group gone to pain management clinic? My

orthopedic surgeon has refered me, as the clinic i go to refuses to

see me because we owe to much money on a bill, I tried to explain to

these idiots, that I lost my job back in Aug, and we are living on 1

income, and not only do i have medical issues but so does my husband,

they don't care, So my ortho dr i guess is tired of refilling my

vicodine , so now we refered me to this guy, what exactly do they do

while you are there? please let me know as I'm getting nervious thanks

so much hugs to you all Leanne

The pain clinic I go to does NOT prescribe drugs, rather they help you figure

out ways of lessenging the pain through relaxation, massage, exercise or

injections like I had the other day. They also do other things, but so far this

is what I've actually seen there. I was told up front they do not prescribe

meds, though.
